Today in Western Civ class I learned that to the west of the Fertile Crescent is Africa. I also learned that the Nile River flows from South to North rather than North to South, another thing I learned
about the Nile river is that it is like a clock that has a certain time each
year that it will flood were as The Tigris and Euphrates are unpredictable and
can flood whenever. I also learned that
when the Nile river overflows that it leaves behind a rich mud that can be
identified as silt, silt helps the Egyptian people a lot as it contains many
useful nutrients for plants and acts as a manure for them. In Egypt Kings were considered to be Gods
were as in Mesopotamia Kings were considered representatives of Gods.
Today in Western Civilization class I witnessed other groups present their Greek Civilization projects, the first group talked about the different governments that were created, they did this by becoming the leaders that created the different governments and discussed it as if it were a meeting and there were sides; I thought that it was a fun and playful twist to the project. The next project was performed by Ben and Will and they did the Olympics, they discussed how they started, the traditions, the events, and even reenacted some of them (they were poorly done), but they were able to get the events for the most part correct and they were also fun to watch how they were performed.
